has a smaller gap with 9th place than they did with Judge. Judge also had the highest WAR in the past 20 seasons. 2nd place in the past 20 seasons was Judge 2 years ago. It’s remarkable what he’s been able to do.

Aaron Judge just had the best season at the plate from a right handed hitter in MLB history. All-time. Ever.

I’ll take Ohtani over Judge any day of the week.

If Judge could pitch I would go with Judge, but he can't

Ohtani couldn’t pitch this year either, and let’s wait to see if when he does

That doesn't change the fact that Judge is a defensive liability at this point

I’ve watched almost every Yankees game. Any defensive liability is negligible.

The numbers tell a different story. He's significantly slower getting to

I’m not seeing glaring mistakes when he plays, so I guess I’m saying bottom end

20 of 22 or 22 of 22 isn't bottom of middle. It's bottom of the bottom.

I may not be following here… how are there only 22 with 30 teams?

There are only 22 players who have played over 700 innings in CF this season

According to baseball savant Judge has been worth -3 runs in the field, but

Add the impact of a Cy Young caliber starter who is 2 years younger than Judge

But that is to be seen… who knows if he will be as good post surgery.

Maybe they moved him to RF next year?

That would make sense. He's 32. He's slowing down. Keeping him in CF is stupid.

His defensive stats have been trending down. He used to be very good.

Right field is where I think he belongs, but my baseball knowledge is nowhere

Yah he’s an atrocious defender. The fact that he’s only slightly below average this year

TCuz

Let me put this “defensive liability” in context. According to Baseball Savant, Judge has been worth -3 runs defensively

Judge has been very disappointing in the postseason. He needs to change that

Yep. Career 39% strikeout rate in the postseason.
